Early the m, Kelly arrived at the ran a truck. Along with a team of Machamps, she transported load after load of goldenwood to the World Tree's base.

  Ohe guild's location was finalized, Kelly and her stru team officially began their work. Hammers ged and saws buzzed as the project moved forward.

  Around noon, Zapdos returo the ranch, delivering the three Treeckos to their new home. After fulfilling its duty, the Legendary Pokémon immediately flew off, leaving the trio of Treecko standing calmly before Naoki and the assembled Pokémon.

  "Wele!" Naoki greeted warmly, leading a group of Pokémon in hosting a small but heartfelt wele ceremony for the newers.

  As the ceremony cluded, Naoki handed each Treecko a piece of the World Tree dy he had prepared the day before. The green, jewel-like dies sparkled in the sunlight as they were passed out.

  The Treecko looked at the dies curiously before takiive bites. Their reas were almost instant—eyes wide with astonishment.

  "Tree-fu?!" they excimed, gng at each other in shock.

  " you feel it?" Naoki asked with a knowing smile. "Yrass-type energy has grown stronger, hasn't it?"

  The Treeodded cautiously, still processing the stra invigoratiion c through their bodies. Their curious gazes fixed on Naoki.

  "e with me," Naoki said, gesturing for them to follow.

  He led the Treecko across the shimmering ke and into the Reverse World. The transitioween the rand the ethereal ndscape left the trio wide-eyed as they took in the surreal beauty of their surroundings.

  As they reached the base of the World Tree, the Treecko froze ihe colossal tree, its trunk t into the heavens, dwarfed anything they had ever seen before.

  "Treec..." they murmured in unison, uo hide their amazement.

  The sheer size and majesty of the World Tree sparked vivid images in their minds—of climbing its dense foliage, buildis among its branches, and living peacefully within its embrace. Their eyes gleamed with longing aement.

  Naoki, notig their captivated expressions, smiled. "I take it you like the World Tree?"

  The Treeodded eagerly.

  "The's head up and explore," Naoki suggested.

  He guided them through a path of floating sky isnds and into the cavernous base of the World Tree. Using the bubble elevator, they asded to a realm that could only be described as a paradise. Vibrant greenery stretched as far as the eye could see, while soft sunlight filtered through the dense opy.

  The Treecko inhaled deeply, their senses overwhelmed by the pure, natural energy filling the air. The lush surroundings and tranquil atmosphere resonated with their Grass-type nature, instantly making them feel at home.

  In the distance, Kelly and her stru team were hard at work, hammering and assembling the foundation of the guild.

  Naoki poioward the bustling activity. "See? Mew and Teddiursa didn't lie to you when they said I'd build a bustling Pokémon Guild here. We're just getting started, but in a few months, this pce will be thriving."

  He turned back to the Treecko and added, "O's plete, you live here in pead help run the guild with the other Pokémon."

  The trio of Treecko exged gnces before nodding in unison. It was the promise of such a guild that had vihem to leave their old home and join the Hero Expedition Team in the first pce.

  "So," Naoki asked, "have you decided where you'd like to stay? Will you return to the ranch with me, or would you prefer to settle here at the World Tree right away?"

  "Trec!" Without a sed thought, the Treecko chose to stay at the World Tree.

  Naoki nodded with approval. "Alright, sounds good!"

  He gnced around the area. The World Tree, while magnifit, had not yet reached its full maturity. The orchards and farmnds were still undeveloped, leaving only a few edible Berries scattered among the bushes.

  "But there isn't much to eat here right now," Naoki pointed out. "The orchards and farmnds haven't been cultivated yet."

  However, the Treecko seemed entirely uned. They cheerfully expined, in their own way, that they could easily satisfy their hunger by mung on the leaves.

  Naoki: "…?"

  As expected of Grass-type Pokémon, their adaptability to natural ditions was impressive. Some Grass-types could even sustain themselves purely through photosynthesis.

  Even though the Treecko didn't mind, Naoki couldn't bear the thought of them chewing on leaves just to survive. It felt far too pitiful to him.

  After a moment of thought, Naoki decided to take a. He asked the Treecko to stay at the World Tree temporarily while he returo the ranch. From there, he drove his pickup truck to the tourchased a batch of Berry tree saplings from the local Hugh Seed Store.

  .....

  Back at the World Tree, Naoki enlisted the help of Dugtrio and Calyrex. Together, they began reg a designated pnting area around the World Tree.

  Naoki and Dugtrio worked to dig holes and prepare the soil, and the Berry tree saplings were carefully pnted into the pits.

  Once all the saplings were i was time for Calyrex to work its magic. With a graceful wave of its hand, the tiny, delicate saplings began to grow at an astonishing rate.

  In mere moments, a lush and vibrant orchard filled with Berry trees appeared before their eyes. The trees were den with plump, glistening fruits, their skins smooth and shiny, radiating an irresistible allure of ripeness.

  The Treecko trio stood iheir eyes gleaming with amazement.

  "Treec…" they murmured in unison, marveling at the incredible sight.

  Naoki smiled warmly and said, "Alright, that's settled. If you're hungry, feel free to pick fruit from the trees."

  "Tre!" The Treecko trio nodded eagerly, their tails twitg with enthusiasm.

  Naoki gnced around the lush enviro and added, "Oh, there's one more thing I o tell you."

  "Tre?" The Treecko looked up attentively.

  "The World Tree is enormous," Naoki expined. "Aside from this level, there are many other areas. However, I haven't explored those parts yet. It might be easy to get lost, so for now, please stay on this level."

  "Tre!" The Treeodded in unison, uanding the caution.

  Naoki nodded back. The area on this floor was already expansive enough to satisfy their curiosity and provide plenty of room to explore and py.

  The World Tree was still in the process of growing. This particur level, located at the of the tree and shielded by its dense opy, would likely remain unged even as the World Tree matured further. However, other areas were less stable and could shift as the tree expanded, particurly the hollow spaces within its massive trunk.

  Naoki decided it would be best to wait until the World Tree reached full maturity before venturing into those parts. Ohe enviro stabilized, he could better assess what kind of habitats were suitable for different types of Pokémon.

  Pokémon have a diverse range of attributes and habitats they prefer. Fire-type Pokémon thrive in volic regions with high temperatures, Grass-types favor areas with dense foliage and rich greenery, while Water-types need enviros with clear, water.

  Simirly, Rock- and Ground-types gravitate toward rugged mountainous terrain, Ice-types prefer frigid zones covered in snow and ice, and so on.

  Creating specialized enviros for eaon type would be a signifit project, but Naoki wasn't in any rush. He had all the time in the world.
